And that will be a shame. He's not flashy, but he got the job done.

The latest on 102.5
- Thread starter ckg279

I think 96.1 or 92.9 are flipping formats
Hmmm...the way they word it "Your stars are still on Kiss 98.5" maybe they should drop Kiss and keep it as Star 98.5.
"Your STAR station..." but who really knows what's going on over there...

Kiss has usually been the dominant station in the cluster. They've already announced it's being sold. I don't expect them to drop the Kiss moniker, but I do think that they'll try to daypart it to try to attract former Kiss listeners during the daytime. Maybe they replace some of the syndication with former Star hosts. Maybe they don't.
Perhaps not. Lucas has been a stalwart in morning drive at Star, and would be a fine fit for middays at Kiss. It seems most tawdry to predict or anticipate the demise of a person's career, even as an objective assessment. Could be that Townsquare realizes Lucas' worth and invites him to join the Breeze. His Facebook posts note that he's also become a licensed real estate agent, so it appears Lucas is well prepared for any hand that's dealt him by "Sick Cents A Share Broadcasting."
Rob's a heck of a great guy. He will land on his feet.
If memory serves, back in the day Kiss used to do dayparting of their music. Insofar as "the syndication" part goes, keep in mind that that was Audacy-driven(Julia(from Chicago's B96)in middays, Bru(who does his thing from L.A.)in PM drive).
I'd think that the first scenario you mentioned is more likely, considering that the Breeze's lineup is pretty much set.
This Friday, Rob Lucas will end the broadcast at 10am. It then switches to a Kiss FM simulcast until mid-month when the frequency switches to the Christian format. Lucas reportedly retiring from broadcast. PD Sue O'Neill going to Kiss.
Did ratings have anything to do with Star going off of the air
Mostly money and the problems the owner has overall.
I wonder if they will sell stations is markets like Hartford and Greensboro
Don't you mean 98.5?
It looks like the playlist on 98.5 is leaning more adult
Hartford, Greensboro, and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre are among Audacy's most successful and profitable markets that to this point have been messed with the least since the Entercom/CBS merger.
power 96-5 getting some free pub
I think it’s very unlikely but I wonder if they will sell off stations until the debt is payed. But there is very few buyers
They can't sell their way out of debt. The debt is too big, and every station sale also reduces cash flow.
Yes.
